The audience's thoughts

An experimental idea for a theater play. The audience sits on stage and the actors are scattered sitting in the audience seats. The spotlight shines on the actors who perform the play about an audience's thoughts during a play, talking out loud, reciting or discussing them with the person sitting next to them. The real audience is on stage and watches what is going in the minds of that imaginary audience which could be them. It be interesting to record the real audience on video and study their reactions. Are they different, perhaps more engaging and forthcoming? Does sitting on stage, the space where actors usually perform, have an effect on audience behavior?
